Frazer, James George, 1854-1941.
The golden bough : a study in magic and religion / Sir James George Frazer ; edited with an introduction and notes by Robert Fraser. - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 1998. - 1 online resource (xlix, 858 pages) : map. - Oxford world's classics . - Oxford world's classics (Oxford University Press) .
"A new abridgement from the second and third editions."
Includes bibliographical references and index.
A chronology of Sir James George Frazer -- The king of the wood -- Priestly kings -- Magic and religion -- Human gods -- Departmental kings of nature -- The worship of trees -- The sacred marriage -- The kings of Rome -- The succession to the kingdom -- The burden of royalty -- The perils of the soul -- Taboos -- Killing the god -- The mortality of the gods -- The killing of the divine king.
A classic study of the beliefs and institutions of mankind, and the progress through magic and religion to scientific thought, The Golden Bough has a unique status in modern anthropology and literature. First published in 1890, The Golden Bough was eventually issued in a twelve-volume edition (1906-15) which was abridged in 1922 by the author and his wife. That abridgement has never been reconsidered for a modern audience. In it some of the more controversial passages were dropped, including Frazer's daring speculations on the Crucifixion of Christ.
